Show Notes
A district judge in Santa Fe dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit against a former city employee, Mikayla Trujillo, who accused her supervisor, Manuel Gonzales, of unwanted advances. The judge granted the citys request for summary judgment, stating there were no disputed facts. Trujillo reported the issues in 2023, but no charges were filed after a sheriffs investigation. The city argued it had strong harassment policies and acted swiftly, while Trujillos lawyers claimed the city failed to ensure a safe workplace. The judges decision covers claims under the New Mexico Tort Claims Act and Civil Rights Act, but ordered the city to release Gonzaless personnel file, leaving room for the case to potentially reopen.
